I ain\u2019t got a clue what language it is. I have no idea. It might be completely made up but whatever it is, it sounds wicked. I\u2019m lucky that with my label, False Idols, I don\u2019t need to worry about things like this. I&#8217;m never going to have an A&amp;R guy saying to me, \u2018We don\u2019t understand what she\u2019s saying.\u2019 Because we don\u2019t need the support of commercial radio.
